I’m going to be awol on election day, as it applies to the top of the ticket.

I'm completely for closing the borders and dismantling this idea of amnesty, but do you mind if I play Devil's Advocate?

Would Clinton or Obama do more to close the borders? I agree with you that we need a CONSERVATIVE in the office, but with potentially two SCOTUS seats to be filled IMHO there is more at risk in this election than just the border.

What makes you think a McCain Presidency would feel obligated to fill Supreme Court openings with conservatives? Remember; McCain likes to get along and go along. He would think the court could be improved by more “balance”.

I extremely reluctantly agree with you. There’s still the protection of the Second Amendment and the unborn, amongst other things, to be considered. A ‘rat president is for sure going to work against both.

Nothing I could ever say, no matter how salient, would make any difference to you. That’s not a slam, it’s just an acknowledgement of the reality that is. You think we must elect a democrat from our side rather than face one from the other side. I know you don’t really consider the guys on our side to be this, but I do. They will dissemble conservatism for four years. And I don’t want my hands sullied for voting for them. Just be prepared to defend everything they do over the next four years. And as far left as they take us, be prepared to back more democrats in sheeps clothing, because that’s all you’ll ever get to vote for in November.

I appreciate your take on it. It’s a valid position. I just can’t back it any longer.
